Here are some of our most Frequently Asked Questions about Rogers NHL LIVE™:

What are Blackouts?

Regional blackouts are a mandate of the NHL, designed to cultivate and protect a team’s home market. For example, in order for the Ottawa Senators to grow their fan-base, they want people in Ottawa to watch their games over the Montreal Canadiens or Toronto Maple Leafs. These regional rights are then taken by the team and sold to a broadcaster. Each team has between 50-60 regional games per year. The remaining games are what is known as a “national” game, which is a game that can be viewed by anyone, from coast-to-coast, like Hockey Night in Canada. For an explanation of NHL blackout rules, click here >

However, every game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a national game and therefore does not have any blackouts.

Where outside of Canada can I watch NHL Live?

Fans can continue to live stream games while travelling in Canada or the U.S. Roaming charges may apply when not on the Rogers wireless network or when not on Wi-Fi, so we suggest you get a data roaming pack in advance if you choose to stream the games on a wireless network. Rogers Share Everything™ plans offer Roam Like Home, allowing you to use your Canadian wireless plan when you’re in one of 75 international countries.

Both National and Regional game blackouts still apply outside of Canada, so, please keep in mind that if a game is available on TV where you’re travelling to, you will not be able to access the game in Rogers NHL LIVE.

Due to rights restrictions, Rogers NHL LIVE™ cannot be used in Denmark, Finland, Norway or Sweden.

Data consumption is approx. 1GB/game when streamed to a smartphone and approx. 2-5GB/game when streamed to a tablet, computer, gaming console or TV (varies based on length of game, stream quality, device and other factors). Data usage exceeding your plan allotment (overage) is charged in increments rounded up to the next MB or GB (as applicable based on your plan). Standard roaming charges apply when not on the Rogers wireless network.
